2 week notice @ Starbucks

Last friday, I gave my two weeks notice to Starbucks. Instead, I got a new job working at the Great Outdoors which is like Canada's Mountain Equipment Co-op. The new place pays 1€ more per hour and I don't have to make coffee for anyone!

That's the only new thing that is going on. I will be working 3 jobs for the next couple weeks while I try to quit Starbucks so I won't have much time to spend money which is a good thing! For Christmas, I have decided to go down to Cork to visit Su and Ryan. At least I will have some Canadians to spend Christmas with. They tell me that they have a tree and stockings and everything. We are just missing the snow. Speaking of snow, my mom told me there was a huge snowstorm in Ontario......i'm liking the 10 degrees it is over here.

My bike has been a great addition to my life. It now only takes me 10 minutes to get to work!

Biking in the Mean Streets of Dublin

I bought a used bike today for 75Euros from a little old lady. I decided to ride my new used bike home and got lost. After 1 hour of biking here and there and almost getting killed 10 times, I finally found my way back home.

I have no idea how to ride of bike in Dublin. I am still not used to riding on the other side of the road and the bike lanes here are totally random. There will be a bike path and then it will suddenly disappear then reappear a few blocks later. Also, the drivers here are crazy. They feel they have the right of way and will run down a pedestrian if need be.

Halfway back, I decided I was going to stay off the road and ride on the sideway. I also need to get a lock, a helmet and a light for riding in the dark as it gets dark after 4:30pm.

Ok, short entry this time as I am hungry. Ciao.
